No.

For humans who are paying attention, sure. In practice, not really, because it's all done by scripts without an easy way to query "is this domain shared".

Datadog, of course.

Let's rephrase then: why does owning stock imply financially supporting the company? After IPO, you're not buying anything from the company, you're buying from other investors.

Have you considered intentionally corrupting the magstripe data by running a strong magnet over it?

SQL sanitation is foolproof in the sense of it being possible to do 100% right. We don't do it much because there are other options (like prepared statements) that are easier to ge…

You are not obligated to explain yourself, but you also don't get to complain when nobody knows what you're talking about.

I am a native speaker, and I've never heard "white cane" before.
